I have been a modeler for 40+ years building plastics and stick & tissue models as a youngster. I flew control line for a while as a teenager. I got into RC in 1983 and have been active in sport flying ever since. My latest projects include a plans built Hostetler Cessna 150 and a Bud Nosen Cessna 310. I wrote 2 or 3 airplane reviews for RC Report in the magazine form and later one review for the online edition.
